How to Make a Free Elementor Contact Form

This tutorial will show you how to create an Elementor form using WPForms Lite or Pro. Here are the steps we’re going to work through:

Let’s get the plugin set up first.

Step 1: Install the WPForms Plugin

The first thing you’ll want to do is install the WPForms plugin. If you need help with this, check out this easy tutorial on how to install a WordPress plugin. You don’t need to pay anything to enable the WPForms Elementor integration.

Now that WPForms is installed be sure to click the Activate button. If you’re using WPForms Lite, you can click Activate on the plugins page to start.

And if the Elementor page builder’s already installed, you’re ready to make your 1st contact form (in less than 5 minutes!).

Step 2: Make Your Elementor Contact Form

The simple contact form template has all of the fields you need to get messages from your website. If you want, you can add extra functionality like dropdowns and checkboxes in the user-friendly form builder.

First, in the WPForms setup screen, type in a name for your form at the top.

Scroll down a little, and you’ll see the form templates.

If you have WPForms Lite, you’ll have a few templates to choose from to get you started. Upgrade to Pro if you want to add 100s of extra form templates to your site. These templates include ready-made forms for customer service, marketing, and other

For now, let’s use the simple contact form template. Click on it to open it in your browser.

Now you’ve chosen a template, the WPForms builder will open.

The WPForms user interface is designed to be super easy for anyone to use. On the left, you can see all of the fields that are available to add to your contact form. On the right, you can see a live preview of your form.

If you want to customize the template, just drag any form field from the left hand panel to the form on the right. You can add dropdown lists, multiple-choice questions, and more.

You can also drag fields up and down to move them around on your form.

If you want to open the field settings, click on the field once in the builder. When you look to the left hand panel, you’ll see the settings next to the form preview.

Go ahead and click on each field to set it up the way you want it. When you’re done, click Save at the top.

Step 3: Set up Elementor Form Notifications

Now let’s check the messages that will be sent when the form is submitted. In the form builder, click Settings, and then click the Notifications menu item on the left.

On the right, you can see the notification email that will be sent to you when your form is submitted. You can customize the email here if you want to.

Did you notice that the email will be sent to {admin_email}? That’s a placeholder for the Administrator email address in WordPress.

You can delete {admin_email} and type in your business email address here, or change the admin email address in WordPress if it’s wrong.

Step 4: Set up Elementor Form Confirmation Messages

Next, click Confirmations. On this screen, we can customize the message that shows up on the front end when the form is submitted.

This is optional, so you can just leave the default message if you’re happy with it.

And that’s it! It’s time to click the Save button at the top. You can close the form builder by clicking the X at the top-right of the form builder window.

Great job! Your Elementor form is ready, and we just need a place to put it.

Step 5: Create Your Elementor Contact Us Page

In this step, we’re going to build a custom Contact Us page for your Elementor website.

From the WordPress dashboard, click Pages and click the Add New button.

Go ahead and type your title at the top.

Now let’s switch to Elementor. Click the blue Edit with Elementor button at the top of the screen.

Wait a few seconds for Elementor to load up in your browser.

On the left, you’ll see different elements that you can add to your page. In the Basic section, you’ll see an icon labeled WPForms.

Go ahead and drag it onto your page, then click on the dropdown to select the form you just created.

Great job! And we’re done using the form builder. All we need to do now is publish the Contact page.
